Wyatt Mckee Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Keystone's Wyatt Mckee, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mckee made 11 total tackles.
Firelands had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Mckee it was a similar story. Mckee made 15 total tackles (2.0 for loss) the last time he and the Falcons duked it out back in October of 2023.

Gage Maruna posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns.
The win was the third in a row for Columbia, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. Maruna will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Brookside on Friday.

While Clearview might've come up empty on Friday, Josiah Longo wasn't going down without a fight. Longo turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 95 yards on only eight carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made seven total tackles.
Clearview's loss ended a ten-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 6-1. Longo and Clearview will challenge Black River at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
